Application filed March 3, 1891. Serial No. 383,540. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK I-I. DOBECK, a citizen of theUnitedStates,residing at Omaha, in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cloth-Piling Machines; and

I hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the same, referenoe being had to theaccompanying drawings, [0 wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of apiling-machine embodying my invention, the right-hand end of the machineextended on Sheet 11 and marked Fig. 1.

Like symbols refer to like parts wherever they occur.

My invention relates to the construction of that class of apparatuscommonly termed pilingmachines, usually employed for evenly and uniformy placing or laying a series of superimposed thicknesses of any fabricdirectly from the roll or bale preparatory to cutting the same intoparts of garments, as is now commonly practiced in the manufacture ofcheap goods, such as shirts, overalls,&c. In order to make this class ofcheap garments profitable,it is necessary that large numbers be cut outat a single operation without waste and largely by special machineryadapted for that purpose. To prepare the fabric for cutting withoutwaste, it becomes necessary to lay the cloth or fabric in uniform layersor thicknesses, frequently as great in number as one hundred, and aspiling-machines are now constructed the operating of the machine,evening up the thicknesses, and adjusting the mechanism require severalworkmen and correspondingly add to the cost of manufacture.

The object of my present invention is as far as possible to render thecloth-piling machine automatic in its operation, so that a singleworkman can therewith perform the labor which now requires several anddo it in as good, if not a better, manner.

The main elements of my improved pilingmachine are those common to thisclass of n1achineryviz., a piling-table, a cloth-truck provided withlaying-rollers, and a bale or roll carrier mounted on the truckand tothe broad combination of such elements I herein lay no claim.

The first feature of my invention embraces the combination, with apiling-table, of a vibrating fold-laying arm adapted to swing in a planeparallel with and over the table and means for actuating said foldlayingarm, whereby the layers or folds distant from the operator areautomatically evened up.

A second feature embraces the combination, with the piling-table, acloth-carrying truck mounted thereon, and a power-cable for actuatingthe truck or carriage, of reversing mechanism for the cable, levers atthe feed end of the table for controlling the reversing mechanism, andmeans on the truck for actuating the reversing mechanism independenllyof the levers, whereby the apparatus may be controlled by the workman atthe feed end of the table and the travel of the truck or carriageautomatically reversed at 5 the distant end of the table independentlyof the operator.

A third feature embraces the combination, with the piling-table, of afold-laying arm arranged at one end thereof, a cloth-truck Too adaptedto travel 011 the table, and means whereby the fold-laying arm isautomatically actuated by the truck at or near the close of its movementin one direction, whereby an assistant for evening up the distant end ofcloth is dispensed with.

Afourth feature embraces the combination, with the piling-table, of avertically-adjustable vibrating fold-laying arm and mechanism forautomatically and gradually raising the same to accommodate theincreasing thickness of the layers of fabric on the pilingtable.

A fifth feature embraces the combination, with the piling-table and atruck adapted to travel thereon, of cloth-laying rollers adjustablyjournaled in housings on the truck and mechanism for gradually andautomatically raising said rollers from the piling-table to accommodatethe increasing thickness of the layers of fabric on the piling-table.

There are other minor features of invention, all as will hereinaftermore fully appear.

I will now proceed to describe my invention more fully, so that othersskilled in the art to which it appertains may apply the same.

In the drawings, A indicates the piling-table, B the truck orcloth-carriage, and C the fabric-carrier, mounted on the truck.

The piling-table A can be of any desired length and width and may begrooved longitudinally on its upper surface and near the edges, as at aa, Fig. 1, or otherwise constructed to form a track for the wheels oftruck B.

Secured to the under side of the pilingtable A at the right hand or feedend thereof (see Fig. 2) is a grooved pulley 1, and near the oppositeend of said table is a similar grooved pulley 2, secured to a shaft 3.These two pulleys 1 and 2 carry the cable 4 formoving the truck B. Theshaft 3, to which pulley 2 is attached, is journaled in suitablebearings on the under side of the table and is provided with two pulleys5 5 and two loose pulleys 6 (5. Supported in suitable bearings on theunder side of said table is a second shaft 7, provided with fixedpulleys 8 8 8 said shaft 7 being driven from any suitable source ofpower through the belt on pulley 8 and in turn communicating power tothe shaft 3 through belts 9 9 and fixed pulleys 5 5, one of said belts 9being twisted or crossed (see left end, Fig. 2) in order to give areverse rotation to the shaft 3.

10 10 indicate shipping-levers pivoted to the under side of thepiling-tableA and each provided at one end with means for controllingits respective belt 9 9. The opposite end of lever 10 is connecteddirectly by a rope 11 (which passes over suitable guide rollers) withpivoted hand lever 12 at the right-hand or feed end of the machine, andis also connected by a link 13 with a crankarm 1 1 on a verticalrock-shaft 15, from which a second crank-arm 16 and intermediate link 17connect with lever 18, having a pivot 19, said lever 18 being forautomatically operating lever 10, as will hereinafter appear. The secondcrank-arm 16 is also connected by means of rope 20 (passing oversuitable guide-rollers) with the opposite end of pivoted handlever 12 atthe right-hand or feed end of the table. By the mechanism thus describedit will be observed that by rocking the handlever to the right or towardthe nearest end of the table the belt 9 can be shipped from the loosepulleys 6 (on which it is shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings) to the fastpulley 5, and this will cause the upper part of the cable 4 (and thetruck) to move from the power end of the table toward the feed endthereof. If nowthe hand-lever 12 be reversed or pushed back to theposition shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the belt 9 will be carriedback to the loose pulley 6 and the movement of the cable 4: and truck Bwill cease. The distant end of the second shipping-lever 10 is connectedby a link 21 with a pivoted lever 22 and said lever 22 by a rope or cord11 (which passes over suitable guide-rollers) with one end of asecondpivoted hand-lever12, while the opposite end of said pivoted lever 12 isin turn connected bya rope or cord 20 (which passes over suitableguide-rollers) with the lever 22 on that side of its pivot nearest theshipping-lever 10 If now the second pivoted hand-lever 12 be pushed inor toward the power end of the table, it will (through cord or rope 20)pull on the power end of pivoted lever 22 and move second shippinglever10", so as to shift crossed belt 9 from loose pulley 6 (on which it isshown inthe drawings) to fast pulley 5, and thus cause the upper part ofthe cable 4; and the truck to move toward the power and from the feedend of the table. The reversal of pivoted hand-lever 12 (or the pullingof it toward the feed end of the table) will reverse the position ofcrossed belt 9 or shift it back on the loose pulley 6 and stop themachine.

The hereinbefore-described mechanism will, as has been pointed out,enable a single workman placed at the feed end of the table to start,stop, and reverse the machine; but in order to automatically reverse themovement or the travel of the carriage or truck at a point near thepower and distant from the feed end of the machine and from the workmanthe following or equivalent additional devices are provided.

The end of lever 22 nearest the feed end of the machine is connected byalink 23 with one crank-arm 24 of a vertical rock-shaft 25, and a secondcrank-arm 26 of vertical rockshaft 25 stands in the path of the truck13.

On referring to the left-hand end of Fig. 2 of the drawings it will benoted that the free end of lever 18, which is connected withshipping-lever 10, as before described, also stands in the path of truckB. It will therefore be readily understood that as truck B approachesthe left or power end of the piling-table it will first strike crank-arm26 and actuate lever 22 and shipping-lever 10 to shift belt 9 from fastpulley 5 to loose pulley 6 and will IIO ' next strike lever 18 andthrough rock-shaft pose.

will actuate shipping-lever 10 to shift belt 9 from loose pulley (5 tofast pulley 5, thus automatically reversing the movement of the cableand the truck.

The evening up of the layers or folds at the right-hand end of themachine or the feed end of the table can be easily attended to by theworkman who operates the machine; but at the opposite or power end ofthe table it is preferred to use automatic devices for such pur- Toeffect this, I provide a fold-laying arm arranged to vibrate over thepiling-table A adjacent to the power end thereof, as indicated clearlyby dotted lines in Fig. 2, (marked 27,) and said arm is secured to theupper end of a post 28, (for detail see Fig. 7,) loosely journaled nearthe edge of the piling-table. The lower portion of said post 28 isproivded with a thread,as at 28,and passes throughathreaded ratchet-nut29, loosely journaled in a bracket 29, secured to the under side of thetable A, and on said post 28 is a crank-arm 28 having at its outer endan eye, through which passes the bent end of a link 30, the opposite endof link 30 being pivoted to a slide 31, adapted to move longitudinallyat or adjacent to the edge of the piling-table A and within the path ofthe truck B. This slide 31 has a longitudinal cam-slot 31", in which acam-pin 31 engages, and is provided at its extremity with acatch orprojection 31,adapted to engage with the projection e of the truck B.

31 indicates a spring arranged to hold the slide toward the feed end ofthe table and the fold-laying arm crosswise of the table.

32 indicates a second shaft provided at its upper end with a pinion 32,said shaft 32, journaled in the piling-table A adjacent to the arm-shaft28 and so arranged that its pinion 32" will engage a rack 33 on the sidebar of truck B. The lower end of shaft 32 is provided with a crank-armor disk and crankpin 32, which is connected by a link or rod 34 with aratchet 35 on shaft 28 and engages ratchet-nut 29 on said shaft. lVhilethe truck B is moving toward the right-hand or feed end of the table thespring 31 before referred to, holds the slide 31 toward the feed end ofthe machine and the fold-laying arm crosswise of the table, thus holdingin place the fold of fabric at the power end of the pilingtable A. Onthe return movement of the truck as it approaches the power end of thetable the projection e strikes the catch 31 of slide 31 and overcomesspring 31, carrying the slide toward the power end of the machine, andat the same time the rack 33 comes in contact with pinion 32, andthrough shaft 32 and the intermediate connections rotates shaft 28 andmoves the folding arm 27 to the side of the piling-table out of the way,where it remains until the cam-groove 31- of the slide 31 and thecam-pin 31 have released the catch 31 from the truck, whereupon thespring 31 retracts the slide 31 and again draws the fold-laying armacross the piling-table, the fold-laying arm 27 following after thetruck B toward the power end of the table and at the same time takingthe fold just laid and holding it in place until the truck has madeanother round trip. Then the rackbar 33 on the side of truck B engagespinion 32, it causes the shaft 32 to rotate, which motion iscommunicated through ratchet 35 to ratchet-nut 29, journaled in bracket29, and as the post 28 is connected to slide 31 it cannot rotate, whilethe ratchet-nut 29 can. The post must necessarily be advanced endwise orvertically, and thus gradually raise the fold laying arm 27 toaccommodate the increasing thickness of the material on thepiling-table.

In order to regulate the extent to which the rack 33 shall engage withpinion 32 and operate shaft 32, said rack-bar 33 is made movable andadjustable at its rear end (see detail view, Fig. 9) by means of two ormore thumbscrews 33, so that byturning said screws the side bar and rack33 at its right hand can be pushed out for a greater or less part of itslength to engage the pinion 32 or can be drawn away from it, as desired.Sufficient play can be allowed shaft 32 in order to avoid any crampingof the pinion.

The devices heretofore described, though operated from the truck,havebeen connected with the piling-table or supported therefrom. I willnow describe the truck and its adjuncts.

The truck 13 may be of any suitable form provided with suitable wheelsI) h and with a grip G for seizing the cable 4, previously described.Mounted on the truck is the clothholder 0, which may be of any desiredcharacter. lVhen the fabric is in the form of a roll, it is preferred touse a rod or shaft 37 journaled at one end in a post 37 and at theother. in a sliding-post 38, controlled by a brake-screw 39 andinterposed disks 36, which bear on the ends of the roll, (all as clearlyshown in Figs. 3, 4, and 6;) but when the fabric is wound on a board theheads or boardholders shown in Fig.8 may be used. These holders consistof heads 37", having journals 37 and board grooves 37, in the bottom ofwhich are center pins 37". In use the heads are forced on the oppositeends of the board until the center pins 37 bite the wood thereof, afterwhich the journals 37 37 are inserted in the fixed post 37 and thesliding post 38 of the brake mechanism, and the brake-screw 39 istightened up to hold the cloth and prevent the fabric from unrolling toofast. In the case of Denims and like fabrics, or those which are simplyfolded, the cloth is spread out flat on body of the truck B.

At the upper part of the truck B and near its forward end is a cross-bar40, (see Fig. 1,) and directly in front thereof is an apron 41, whichapron extends down toward a second cross-bar 42, (see Fig. 4,) locatedbetween the apron and the laying-rolls 43 43. On each of said cross-bars40 and 42 are movable gages 40, and said cross-bars may be renderedmovable for the insertion of the fabric by means of a hinge connection42 at one end and a bolt 42" at the other end,as clearly shown on bar 42in Fig. 4 of the drawings.

To the forward end of the truck B are attached by bolts or in othersuitable manner the two end plates E E or housings of the rolls 43 43,each of which has two slots 6 e for the passage of the ends of theshafts of the clothlayin g rolls 43 43, and each of which housings isformed on its outer face to serve as a guide or way for the movablejournalboxes 44 of the cloth-laying rolls. As shown in the drawings,these end plates E E or housings, their slots, and guideways are allcurved on circles struck from the axle of the forward wheels as thecenter, because it is preferred to drive these cloth-laying rolls bybelts from pulleys on the forward axle of the truck; but other means ofdriving the cloth-laying rolls 43 43 may be used and the form of thehousings E E changed accordingly. The clothlaying rolls 43 43 arepreferably positively driven in reverse direction, on e43 bya straightbelt 45 from a pulley on the forward axle, as shown in Fig. 1, and theother roll 43 by a twisted or crossed belt 45 on the opposite side andfrom a second loose pulley on the axle-shaft, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5,suitable means (not shown) being provided for shipping the belts on thereversal of the travel of the truck.

In lieu of belts, chains and sprocket-wheels may be used,all of whichwill be well understood by the skilled mechanic without furtherdescription.

The cloth-laying rolls 43 and 43 are covered with rubber, as indicatedat r, Fig. 5, in order to insure a positive delivery and avoid anyslipping of the fabric in the bite of the laying-rolls.

In order to cause the gradual raising of the feed-rolls 43 43 toaccommodate the gradually-increasing thickness of the fabric on thepiling-table,I make the journal-boxes 44 of the rolls movable in thehousings or end plates E E, as before specified, and pivot theretovertical rack-bars 46, (see Fig. 5,) which engage with pinions 47 on ashaft 48, journaled in the upper end of the housings or end plates E E.Secured to the outer end of the said shaft 48 is a ratchet-wheel 49 anda swinging arm 50, having a pawl 51, which engages with theratchet-wheel, and secured to the lower end of the swinging arm 50 is asection 50 thereof so pivoted thereto bya knuckle-joint as to form arigid continuation of arm 50 when moving toward the power, (or from thefeed end of the table,) but to yield on the return travel of the truckor when it is moving away from the power end of the table. Thisextension-section 50 extends down below the top of the piling-table andtravels along the side thereof, and in the piling-table at asuitabledistance from the feed end thereof (see Figs. 3 and 5) is formed avertical series of holes 52 for the reception of a peg 52 which pegoperates the swinging section 50,vibrating it more or less, according tothe position of the peg 52.

It will be readily understood from the above description that when thetruck moves from the right or feed end of the piling-table toward thepower the swinging arms 50 50 will strike peg 52, and this through themedium of pawl 51 and ratchet-wheel 49 will partly rotate shaft 48 andpinion 47, so as to slightly raise the rack 46 and the bearings 44 withthe rolls journaled therein. The return motion of shaft 48 can berestrained by the usual reversely-arranged pawl (see 51, Fig. 5) or anyother suitable means, and the extent of the rotation of shaft 48 can beregulated by the position of peg 52, which can be changed from one holeto another of series 52. When the truck B has passed the peg 52sufliciently far to release arm 50 50, it will swing back into itsnormal position, and on the return travel of the truck, or as it movesfrom the power toward the feed end of the piling-table A, theknuckle-joint between the sections 50 50 will yield and permit the partsto pass without actuating shaft 48.

The construction of the apparatus being substantially such ashereinbefore specified, its operation will be as follows: The supplyroll or equivalent supply-bundle of the fabric being placed in thecarrier 0 or on the truck B, as the case may be, the truck being at theright-hand or feed end of the table, where the operator stands, theleading end of the fabric is passed (see Fig. 1) under bar 40, overapron 41, under bar 42, (see Fig. 4,) thence between the cloth-layingrolls 43 43, and secured at the feed end of the table. The operator thenmoves the pivoted hand-lever 12, as hereinbefore specified,to start thetruck moving toward the power end of the piling-table, and thecloth-laying rolls 43 43, receiving a positive or driven motion by meansof the cross-belt or otherwise, will lay a thickness of the fabric fromthe feed or right-hand end of the table to the power end thereof. As thetruck approaches the power end of the table the projection e of thehousing E strikes the catch 31 of slide 31, carrying the slide with thetruck B, and thus overcomes spring 31, and at the same time rack-bar 33engages pinion 32, thus rotating shaft 28 and withdrawing the foldingarm 27 from across the piling-table. By the time this is done thecam-pin 31 has forced the slide 31 down until the catch 31 has escapedfrom projection a of housing-plate E, whereupon the spring 31 retractsthe slide 31 and rotates the foldlaying arm 27 reversely or back acrossthe table A. This movement of the truck B, which has brought rack 33 incontact with pinion 32 on shaft 32 and rotated said shaft through link34, ratchet 35, and ratchetnut 29, has also raised shaft 28 the desireddistance to carry the told-laying arm up to accommodate the thickness ofmaterial on piling-table A. In the meantime truck B, in its movement ITOtoward the power end of the machine, has first struck cran k-arm 26 (seeFig. 2) and through levers 23 22, link 21, and shipping-lever 10 shiftedcross-belt 9 from fixed pulley 5 to loose pulley 6 and then struck lever18 and through link 17, rock-shaft 15, and shippinglever 10 shifted belt9 from loose pulley 6 to fixed pulley 5, thus reversing the movement ofcable 4 and truck B simultaneously with the return of fold-laying arm27. The truck B then travels from the power to the feed end of the tableand lays a second layer of fabric, which is evened up at the feed end bythe operator, Who reverses the machine for its next round trip.

It will be readily seen from the above description that the piling-tablecan be of any desired length and the whole apparatus easily operated bya single workman. The one I have 1n use is about one hundred feet long,and with a boy as operator cloth to the thickness of one hundred or morelayers can be placed more rapidly and uniformly than can be done byseveral men with the apparatus now commonly employed for such purposes.
